Client Testimonials for Maya Bromolson
Vanessa Pruitt
I had a home birth with my first and only child. Maya Bromolson was my doula and an amazing one at that! She definately helped me to concentrate on overcomming my contractions. When I thought I could no longer go on and that my life may be comming to an end (very dramatic I know) Maya said, "This is only for one day of your life. One day. You can do this. Tomorrow you will not feel this pain anymore." Those words stayed with me for the remainder of my birthing experience and kept going through my head. I knew I'd be able to make it through. She definitely played an important role whether it be helping me relax or just standing back and letting me do my own thing. Maya is very knowledgeable and explained things in terms that were easy to understand. Sharing her own experiences also made me feel very comfortable sharing my own. I am very grateful that Maya was my doula.
